Areas around Baltimore

[Elke Cardella]

I am looking to invest in the greater Baltimore area - probably two houses in the $200k - $300k range. I'm not looking to renovate or buy wholesale/foreclosure or any other discount option. I'm looking for a good deal on a turnkey property that i can immediately rent out. Hoping for some cash flow, but more importantly appreciation greater than inflation - ideally 3%-4%. Does anyone have any thoughts on areas? Owings Mills looks like it has had a lot of development - is this area getting overdeveloped or is there a lot of demand out that way? And Baltimore city east? I've seen posts that people don't believe there is any appreciation there. I own a house on N. Montford and it's seen a lot of ups and downs in value. I'd love to hear any thoughts on this. (Ned?) Thank you anyone for your opinions!
